How long have you been at Loyola? 9 years (!!)
Favorite thing about Loyola or teaching? Definitely Loyola's student body. Loyola students are bright, socially aware individuals who care about making a positive impact in their community. Coming to work and engaging with them every day is such a joy.

In a paper published late last year, Dr. Grissom, along with colleagues from the Brain Institute at Tulane University, demonstrated that estrogen receptors remain active in the brains of mice even when the ovaries have been removed (OVX), and that neuroestrogens contribute to this activity for a limited time.
During the summer of 2019, Lowell Smith, a senior in Psychological Sciences, presented work on cognitive changes and sex differences in stress hormone release in aged rats at the Society for Behavioral Neuroscience national conference at Indiana University.
Dr. Armin Kargol has published a two-part book series on Introduction to Cellular Biophysics (Parts I and II). It is intended as a textbook for an undergraduate course in Cellular Biophysics.
Part I: Membrane Transport Mechanisms is an inventory of physical transport processes occurring in cells. Part II: From membrane transport to neural signaling is a closer look at how complex biological and physiological cell phenomena result from these very basic physical processes. This two-volume book has been published by Morgan and Claypool in cooperation with IOP as a part of a "Concise Physics" series. It is available in print and ebook formats: Part One, Part Two
